Remove the bolts from the thermostat hosing and remove then pull out the thermostat.

The thermostat housing is found by following the upper radiator hose.

^ and drain your coolant before you do this lol

you'll also want to remove your intake hose to get access to the tstat housing

Thank you guys. It was a PITA taking those bolts off. The thing that sucks is that didnt solve my gauge problem. The temp gauge only goes up to the first line, even after running for a while. Think its the temp sending unit?

it could be the temp sending unit... or it could be a short in the wire not allowing it to read fully or the guage has went bad......
